We need a new GM.  Kenny has done great things for us in the past, but we're not in the past anymore; we're in the present.  In the present, we're mediocre.  I don't like a mediocre Wings team.  I want a superb Wings team, and in order for that to happen, s*** needs to change.

When he goes to Russia after his current contract is up, we're going to be hurting like you wouldn't believe.  Trust that.  One of the best players to ever wear the uniform.  I'm talking up there with Howe, Lindsay, Delvecchio, Yzerman.....the list goes on.

This was a game we should have won, but we got sloppy, sleepy, and slow.  Maybe the team needs to start snorting lines of coke before the game to give them some extra pep in their step.

The Red Wings go from hot to cold faster than a bipolar meteorologist.

The puck bunnies that chase Z, are 1% cuter than those that chase Pavel. I feel that Babcock is behind this, also. Such a conspiracy.

This is totally an aside, but I really really really really dislike puckbunnies.  Holy crap, do they irritate the living daylights out of me.  There's few things more offensive to a female sports fan than other females who are only into the sport to drool over rich men.  You can spot them by their pink hats, pink jerseys, and total lack of knowledge about what's going on on the diamond/ice/field/court.  They make the rest of us look bad.

Why is there a "but" at the end of the thread title?  Zetterberg's great.  Period.  Datsyuk is great.  Period.  Be grateful they play for us, not someone else.

Jimmy is a siv

If he had better defense in front of him, I'd say 1/4 to 1/3 of the goals he's given up, he wouldn't have.  Yes, it comes down to the goalie doing his job, but if you have sieves in front of your net, it doesn't matter if you have Terry Sawchuk between the pipes.

Homer certainly was a character, and his presence will be missed.  Both on the ice and in the locker room.  Fair winds and following seas, my friend.

Today is my parents' 41st wedding anniversary.  As a treat, I'd like it if the player whose number is closest to 41 gets a hat trick.  That would be our new captain, Mr. Zetterberg.

MAKE IT HAPPEN, HANK.

I think this thread is just a tad melodramatic.  I don't think anyone is jumping off the bridge and going off to root for Pittsburgh and HWSNBN.  I think what people are doing is looking at the team as presently constructed, noting that it has some serious holes in comparison to last season's team, and the season before that, and realizing....we're in trouble.  Not that we're going to go 0-48, but that we're going to have more of these games than not.

Maybe the thread starter needs to relax, instead of telling the rest of us to.

Maybe the Wings think the lockout is still going on, and this game is just busy work so their wives won't nag them to fix stuff.

Yeah, lets just pack it in now.  Halfway through the first game of the season.  They're done.  No sense in bothering with the rest of the season.  They'll go 0-48 for sure. 

I don't think anyone's quite saying that, so dial down the melodrama.  They do however, suck major ass tonight.  Doesn't mean they'll suck ass all season, just that they're sucking ass *tonight*.

To say we suck tonight would be insulting to things that suck, like Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, and Dyson vacuum cleaners.

What a fine way to reward the fans who, despite their anger at the lockout, still decided to watch this team play hockey.  Thanks.

Holy crap my Internet sucks tonight.  Following the GDT here is horrendous.  Sorry if I end up posting things like, five hours after they happen.
